machine: ns-old.ee.washington.edu (i386 Linux), python 2.4.3 (unfortunately, can't access this machine or a machine that can fetch pybindgen from my current location, so I can't give more detailed error log at this time) ./waf configure --python-disable works on this machine

If it's the same bug as what is being reported here, then we can close.
OK, now should _really_ be fixed. I tested on ns-old.ee.washington.edu, thanks to Tom giving me access. It was a bug in Python itself (deepcopy), crazy as it sounds, so I just worked around it.
